2. Soft top canvas

Good condition overall considering age. Will need some work to body and electrical (dashboard connection problem - speedometer and milometer). Body is made of fibreglass so no risk of rusting. Door seals need looking at as at the moment not watertight. Also crack in fibreglass shell at rear .
The bodywork is made of fibreglass so theres no problem with rot/rust at all. In fact the overall condition is very good considering the age. In general it just needs tidying up, for example the two front headlight surrounds need replacing, there's gaps between the doors where the trim has come away (which means rainwater can come in). There's 2 bucket seats and in general a Willys army jeep feel to it, which is what it was modeled on. The main issue is a crack in the plastic shell on the back boot door. This isn't a full thickness crack so could easily be repaired. My plan was to use a shaped sheet of aluminium on the outside and inside as reinforcement which I think would work nicely, drilling through the fibreglass bolting it on (and obviously do the same to the other side to maintain symmetry). Ive enclosed a photo of the crack so you can see. The hood itself needs painting which which would dramatically improve the overall look of the jeep.
The reason for sale is genuine as moving abroad for work and will unfortunately be unable to ship the car with me! Lovely car, great fun to drive and very fast due to its low weight. Viewings welcome. Willing to travel if fuel covered.
